[b]Archetype:[/b] Dead Apostle

[b]Name:[/b] Jasper Virgo

[b]Titles:[/b] Virgo Six, Jazz Hands Jasper

[b]Sex:[/b] Male

[b]Alignment:[/b] Lawful Evil

[b]Personality:[/b] Jasper's viewpoint on humanity is that although it seems pointless, the sheer bliss of being able to die and have a purpose is something he still desires. Believing in causality, he has no remorse for his actions but only does truly evil things if he believes it brings him one step closer to a true purpose in life, convincing himself that ruining lives and ending lives to survive is part of causality and taking those lives must be part of some bigger picture. Smart and scheming, this would probably be more successful if he wasn't obsessed with talking and giving long winded explanations and speeches to people, as well as going over the top and acting like a game show host. He seeks fun in his time of boredom, so he will do whatever he needs to do to keep himself entertained. Servants are something he respects, seeing them as those who are also cursed with immortality that they must return to the earth where they died. His servant is someone he would respect and carry out their bidding as long as it is not a direct detriment to himself.

[b]History:[/b] Jasper Virgo's birth is a tricky one to navigate because before Jasper Virgo, there was Jasper Myerscough, the new heir to the Myerscough family, a proud magus family based in old England during the 19th century. The family was proud of its illusion magecraft which had been successful in allowing them to hide themselves from commoners and escape any ridicule from those who did not understand such magecraft. However, it was a generation before his birth that the family began to experience a destructive hereditary disease that was slowly killing out most of their members before they could even reach the age of 30. 

Because of such a deadly revelation, Jasper's upbringing was focussed on alchemy, something he never quite mastered but he was usually successful. At the ripe age of 18, Jasper feared the disease would claim him as well, his parents already beginning to show symptoms so he decided to set out in search of a cure in foreign lands, this took him to China, where he had heard rumours of a treament where one could achieve a cure for any ailments. However, this rumour only brought him another ailment. 

He met a man there by the name of Karakothar Virgo, who promised to teach this young magus the tricks of the trade. Instead, Jasper found himself enslaved, tricked into Virgo's lair and succumbed to Virgo's bite. The next year or so is blurry for Jasper, for he was nought but a ghoul who knew only to consume and kill. However, his intelligence and soul returned, something that Karakothar was impressed by, quickly making Jasper one of his most important brood, convincing him to take the name Virgo and if he didn't, his life would be returned to that of a ghoul. Desperate to never be a ghoul again and to choose his own destiny, Jasper agreed, becoming the Sixth member of the Virgo clan, a small Dead Apostle tribe lead by Karakothar. 

Jasper would never bow to another, but he took the curse of restoration in stride, spending his free time to develop a cure for the disease that still afflicted his family. After about a decade of work, his work was done and he had developed the cure, something Karakothar was not pleased about. Karakothar demanded Jasper denounce his family name once more, something he reluctantly agreed to, before somehow getting the drop on his Parent and burnt down the lair, escaping into the night.

When he returned to his home town, Jasper Virgo finally found himself cursing his immortality. He offered the cure to what remained of the family, but seeing how he had not aged, they feared Jasper sought to turn them into monsters too. He did not kill them. He destroyed what remained of the cure and left. He began questioning his fate when he came to the conclusion that even though he had lost purpose as a human, there must be a higher purpose that he was missing. False destiny became his obsession, realising that with immortality there was no purpose for him to cure ailments, that was before he had became Virgo.

Seeking out his fate, he became obsessed with the idea that becoming a Dead Apostle was fated to happen, that was his purpose, though he felt no meaning in life, a part of his mind snapped and decided that he had just not reached the point in his life where his purpose would become clear.

Jasper Virgo travelled the world, seeking his purpose but finding that watching governments and royal lineages decline and tear themselves apart was more fun, and their destruction was also part of this grand causality that controlled the world. Causality was the only thing he believed in, not his family, not the Virgos, but the idea that tiny events can cause huge consequences. Finally, he found a great place to watch those cursed with a time limit on their purpose, Las Vegas. Faking his death and changing his name proved to be a great way to keep enemies and the Church off of him, but he found himself abusing his gifts to ensure he had a great lair (aka a penthouse suite) and a fantastic time watching humans fall into despair in Sin City. 

It wasn't until Causality answered him wth the Grail War that he finally found hope in his cold dead heart. Knowing that all his evil deeds would finally come to fruition and prove that it was all for a purpose, he answered the call.

[b]Quality of Magic Circuits:[/b] B 

[b]Quantity of Magic Circuits:[/b] A 

[b]Abnormal Abilities: [/b]

[i]Dead Apostle Parameters and Abilities:[/i] Power to crack concrete in his hands without reinforcement. The speed to dodge bullets without foreknowledge. Jasper's physical stats are high above any human, although in comparison to servants they do not quite match up.

[i]Curse of Restoration:[/i] The curse that restores the bodies of vampires. Rather than healing injuries through an infusion of magic energy, the stimulation of regrowth or one’s natural healing abilities. It heals through a reversal of time, returning the state of the body to a previous state by reversing the flow for the body. A very potent curse. Jasper has studied this curse and enhanced himself slightly to make it act slightly faster than it already did.

[i]Eyes of Enchantment:[/i] Mystic eyes that allow for hypnosis just by looking. A trait common to vampires. For Jasper who had spent years honing his abilities, his eyes reach the rank of Gold.

[i]Boiling Blood Mutation:[/i] A mutation that his Parent infused him with when he was nothing but a ghoul before he became a fully fledged Dead Apostle. This mutation ensures that whenever his blood is not inside his body, it becomes hot to the touch and burns anyone it touches like acid, although it acts as normal blood when it is inside his body. Painstakingly hard to remove from his body without the use of magical implements.

[i]Venomous Abnormalities:[/i] A cruel trick of a mutation forced upon him by the Original Virgo, these mutations take the form of a venom sac that was developed within him that gives him the ability to spit out venomous spit, a mutation that at first made him involuntarily throw up venom but he has since controlled. To make him more "inhuman" and to force Jasper into servitude, the mutation also developed into making his tongue like that of an amphibian, which allows him to elongate it and shoot it out to grab objects or to swiftly jab someone with the slow acting venom, courtesy of the venom sac.

[i]Alchemy:[/i] Knows the basics of alchemy to create potent mixtures, kept practising this even after his turn, ensuring his magic circuits didn't degrade over time. Jasper put his own spin on things, reverse engineering his cure research to develop methods of creating toxins and poisons that when brewed correctly, could be used to damage people who merely touched them, working like nerve agents.

[i]Illusions:[/i] In an effort to give his family some fragment of a legacy, he practices illusionary magecraft and has in some ways become quite infatuated by it. He uses this school of magic to affect people's minds and tricking them into perceiving what isn't quite there, he combines this with his mystic eyes for great effect. 

[i]Causality Perception:[/i] A skill he developed with his magecraft was to power his brain with it, increasing the brain functions with his mana to perform what he calls "causality perception" which allows him to focus his circuits and whilst they are focused, his brain is able to predict the most likely outcome of whatever he is about to do or if he believes himself to be in danger. This was a skill he developed mainly to be able to detect when the Church was hunting him down and when they were about to strike. This is not future telling but rather a method to quickly transmit to himself as many possible ripple effects decisions he makes could have on himself or if an attack on him is likely or not and all the various ways it could come about. 


[b]Equipment:[/b] 6 Conical Flasks full of Boiling Blood, painstakingly removed by the use of a priest who lost his way.

[b]Miscellaneous:[/b] Jasper has been living in Las Vegas for about a decade, because of this he has a network of communications and knows the layout of most casinos and entertainment venues around the place.
